While Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas and The Rum Diaries have made their way to the top of the recognisable works by Hunter S Thompson list thanks to their cinematic adaptations, thus both are now considered synonymous with the idea of 'gonzo journalism', the famed renegade writer's schtick really started here, The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved, an exceptionally bizarre sports article on the famed race, which is really about anything else.
Here committed to record, just in case there were any confusion as to how the succession of hilarious and hallucinatory lines should be delivered, listening is a great way to enjoy just what made Thompson so utterly unique and ubiquitous. Like a stream of consciousness from the most twisted mind to ever file copy with a magazine, what's so utterly wonderful is how that mind perceives the so-called 'normal world' he is forced to enter. You'll rarely feel more reassured of your own sanity.
